It is my decision to approve this modification, as requested, and allow an R-2 use building that was partially constructed in late 1960/early 1970 to be completed without providing sprinkler protection with the existing units. This decision is based on existing conditions that preclude compliance with requirements for new construction and the fact that when the building was originally constructed, sprinkler protection was not required. If you have any questions, please contact Daniel Tierney, Deputy State Building Inspector, at (860) 685-8310. Sincerely, *04' Lisa R.

[MODAPP] DPS-0844-C(rev.01/13/2009) 2 of 2 46 Platoz Drive Uncasville CT Initial construction of this 8 unit apartment building began in 1970 based upon information from the Montville Tax Assessor. In 1980 we, the current owners, bought this property at auction from the Town of Montville. At that time, the interior of the structure had been sheetrocked, however over time due to vandalism, the interior finishes were destroyed and ultimately removed. In 2006, we performed structural repairs to the existing foundation and framing as well as intalled siding, doors and windows. Although actual construction of this building as an apartment building began in 1970, we have been informed that we must meet the current code requriements. At this time we wish to complete the structure and gain beneficial occupancy. At issue is the new requirement of the 2005 State Building Code that a new Apartment Building needs to be protected by an automatic fire sprinkler system.
